Pete Doherty - Prangin' Out lyrics

rate me

[Mike Skinner]<br />

Get back from touring<br />

Suddenly it doesn't seem like much fun to be off my face<br />

At a quarter to eleven am<br />

<br />

You're prangin' out<br />

I see through you<br />

I feel awful<br />

This voice's talkin' to me<br />

This ain't funny<br />

Irons been on in my house for four fucking weeks<br />

I see through you<br />

I'm about to do something stupid<br />

<br />

I dare say why my manager got lary and smacked me<br />

These headaches are gettin' unbearably nasty<br />

Staring at the crackwork, lookin' scary with me brandy<br />

The rock 'n roll cliche walked in and then smacked me<br />

Carelessly rackin' out prangs just to handle the fear<br />

I do a line but then panic and feel a bit prang'd<br />

So I glug marlon from the bottle to ease of the panic<br />

Then when it starts wearing off, I just feel a bit sad<br />

Snort more tour support, and then have a drink<br />

The bruise on the side of my head is madly banging<br />

The only reason I started this was the deal me a laughin'<br />

The only reason I started this was the deal me a laughin'<br />

<br />

You're prangin' out<br />

I see through you<br />

These voices talkin' to me<br />

This aint funny<br />

I see through you<br />

I'm about to do something stupid<br />

<br />

[Pete Doherty]<br />

It stings when I ding, It stings like fuck, <br />

And it's not just to rock and knock out the clock, <br />

My days are spent swerving prangs, <br />

Like old bill in a Jag, <br />

But reality keeps on like a nag, <br />

Stop it, stop it, before you cop it, <br />

Off the rails, on style impaled, <br />

Blind justice jailed, <br />

Do a tabloid crossword- nailed, <br />

Junkie rocker hailed, <br />

And I appear in the morning too minging to sing, <br />

And there's not much worse than that, <br />

Except perhaps death<br />

Prang's a night that gets darker and darker<br />

That light that gets starker and starker<br />

Prang's the bends with a capital B<br />

Life's all mixed up of late<br />

I can't see through you, seeing through me<br />

<br />

You're prangin' out<br />

I see through you<br />

These voices talkin' to me<br />

<br />

(Trying to walk tall and look hard)<br />

<br />

This aint funny<br />

I see through you<br />

I'm about to do something stupid<br />

<br />

(Prang when you're on remand and can't face the cheers and jeers of the yard)<br />

<br />

You're prangin' out<br />

I see through you<br />

These voices talkin' to me<br />

This aint funny<br />

I see through you<br />

I'm about to do something stupid<br />

<br />

The girl in my bed is kinda distant right now, <br />

I know she's thinkin' she's a bit frightened somehow, <br />

I don't think she relised what I'd invited her back to my house<br />

I don't want anyone to see me like this right now<br />

I sorts thoughts rollin' back in my eyes<br />

I've been a poor sports thoughts dance in my mind<br />

A banging headache dancin prang'd by their side<br />

Dancin' with the pictures from the past of my life<br />

I don't remember any of what I just thought at all<br />

The conclusion prior to when I forgot it all<br />

Panicing a bit, gettin' frightened 'n fuck all<br />

So nursing my bruise I drink right from the bottle<br />

I don't want anyone I know to see my like this<br />

My fibs and single became lies and lists<br />

She's gonna sell-tell no doubt fuck it<br />

I'm not going to start drinkin', no, I can't for now<br />

<br />

You're prangin' out<br />

I see through you<br />

These voices talkin' to me<br />

This aint funny<br />

I see through you<br />

I'm about to do something stupid<br />

<br />

Right now logic states I need to be not contemplating suicide<br />

With rational thought it would seem that I need not to be doing stuff<br />

That makes death seem like an easier option<br />

I need a totally trojan plan right now<br />

I see through you
